Klaveness Combination Carriers (KCC) is hoping to cut CO2 emissions further by rolling out semi-autonomous hull cleaning across its fleet.

The Norwegian owner said it will "leave no stone unturned" in its decarbonisation quest after partnering with domestic technology start-up Shipshave.

The letter of intent for the fleet cleaning follows a successful trial on the 80,000-dwt caustic soda and bulk cargo carrier Ballard (built 2017) this year.
